Just because it is a little cold out and snowing east of the Mississippi, this has been a slow week!

So, I have been wondering. When do I know that my shocks need replacing????? Not that I can afford to replace anything, but with 2 cars with hard as a rock sport suspension, how can I determine when the shocks need to be replaced.

Obviously, pushing down on the corner of the car doesn't work. It goes down, and it comes up> Whoopee. Driving around with fresh pot holes is a pain in the butt. The rear of the V70 doesn't bounce, but you can feel every tar strip if you are sitting in the back seat. Neither car leans in the corner, just as advertised with sport suspension.

Do I need to load the cars with 5 people and do some autocross? Perhaps a few extra sandbags in the R? LOL I really don't want to buy new shocks and then find out that it was not necessary.

Help me out,

Klaus
